#8 Stainless Bugle Head Self-Drilling Wood Screw Kit

You'll be amazed at the difference an auger point makes on a Stainless Steel screw!

Great for use with pressure-treated wood or premium materials like Redwood and Western Red Cedar because they are truly self-drilling. ;

The Type 17 point is not a thread style but can enhance the performance qualities of most thread styles used in the woodworking industry. A slot or notch is cut at the point of the screw, which acts like an auger or drilling tip. The slot carves away the material, thus allowing it to self-drill into most types of wood. It can often eliminate the need for a pre-drilled hole to relieve splitting. The Type 17 point is excellent for hardwoods, softwoods, particleboard, and especially MDF.

Deep Thread: Characterized by a reduced diameter shank resulting in a deep thread profile. A single lead thread, meaning that one revolution advances the screw one pitch. (Pitch equals one divided by the number of threads per inch. For a screw with ten threads per in., one revolution will advance the screw 1/1O in. into the wood.)

The deep thread form provides superior resistance to pull-out.
